- Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has updated its developer app guidelines to make things clearer for the different types of tech in the new devices.
- Augmented reality apps wanting to tap into the ARKit optimization of the iPhone 8 models and iPhone X will need to provide an appropriately deep experience not just stick one AR item in and call it a day.
- App developers planning to use Face ID to unlock the app must include an alternative route for those under the age of 13.
- The guidelines also ban apps claiming to include “content or services that it does not actually offer,” which bans third-party antivirus apps by default since they don’t actually work to scan anything due to iOS’s design.
- In other Apple news, those thinking about buying an Apple Watch Series 3 in another country to save some money might want to cancel those plans. A MacRumors source says watches purchased in the U.S. online store will only work with U.S. carriers.
